What One Vote Accomplished.

The fact that in Indiana the official
count shows that q candidate has been
reelected by just one vote leads The South
Bend Tribune to remember that in 1842
Lot Day, ST., was the Democratic candi-
date for sheriff and William Cosgrove was
the Whig candidate. When the official
canvass of the vote was made Lot Day
was elected by one majority. In 1874
Hugh G. Flanagan was elected reprcsen-
tative by one majority. He went to the
legislature and his vote elected United
States senator by one majority. The
United States senator's one vote brought
on the Mexican war. So st. Joseph
county has had an experience that no
other county perhaps in the United States
has had with a single vote. Four men
elected to important offices by single
votes and the Mexican war brought on by
q single vote.--New York Sun.

The .Devirs Code. at stockholm.

The royal library at Stockholm con-
t;ins remarkable literary curiosity,
called the devils code, which is said to
be the largest manuscript in the world.
Every letter of this gigantic piece of work
is as beautifully formed as if it were
minutely and carefully drawn, and it
seems almost impossible that it should
have been done by single human being.
The devils code was brought to Sweden
from Prague after the thirty years war,
and The Deutsche Hausfrauen Zeitung
tells the following story of its origin:
A poor monk, who had been condemned
be commuted if he We're able to copy the
whole of the code in single night Re-
lying on the impossibility of the task, his
Judges furnished him with the original,
pen and ink, and left him in his well
barred prison. \ drowning man catches
at straw to save himself, and the un-
fortunate monk began to try his last i'm
possible task with the vain hope of ac-
complishing it. Before long. however, he
saw that he could not save his life by his
own weak exertions. Afraid of cruel
and certain death, and perhaps doubling
the promise of better life hereafter, he
invoked the aid of the prince of darkness,
promising to surrender his soul if he
were assisted in his task. The dark
spirit appeared as soon as he was called,
concluded the contract, sat down like
any copying clerk, and the next morning
the devils code was finished. Boston

The Man Who Laughs.


81 remember, said an old physician
of Baltimore, lately, .'that | travelled in
1888 in a stage coach across the Allegheny
mountains, from Cumberland to the Ohio
river. In the coach were two friends,
young men and lawyers, who were going
out to settle in western Pennsylvania.
1--WE became well acquainted in the
long. leisurely journey. Both of my fel-
low travellers We're men of ability and
culture;l both had good breeding and
kindly disposition. But their tempera-
ments were widely different.
&C never joked. and rarely smiled.
If laughable story was told he listened
silently, thought over it an hour, and then
began to argue against its probability. Ii
the morning was cloudy he was sure of a
storm before night; if the harness broke
he was positive we would be detained all
day; if the coachman drove fast he knew
the man was drunk, and that our necks
would be broken.
en-, on the contrary, was merry,
light hearted fellow, full. of anecdote and
quick repartee. The weather was always
delightful for lim, tire meals delicious,
his companions the finest company in the
world. He saw every point in the land
scape, every fine outline in the trees Or
tint in the fields. He was like bee,
gathering a drop of honey here, another
there. His comrade never knew that
there was honey to gather. When they
left us, said, There goes one man to
success, the other to defeat.

A Curious Statement.

The Pail Mall Gazette makes the Curl
Gus statement that the melody known as
"Home, Sweet Home" can be found,
note for note, in Curzon's s'Monasteries
of the Levant," published in 1S4s. Cur
zon was secretary to Lord Stratford de
Redcliffe when he was British minister at
Constantinople, and the air is set down in
the book named as an ancient Arabic love
song. Now, Sir Henry Bishops music Of
"Home, Sweet Home,' as set to John
Howard Payne's words, was published
before 1929, and a riddle is thus presented
which the reader may solve for himself.
It may be that "Home, Sweet Home"
has had as many authors as Beautiful

Paper and It's Uses.

There is apparently no limit to the uses
to which paper will eventually he put.
In the past week I have seen in various
places about town paper car wheels,
pals, peach baskets, ink bottles, hats,
chair seats, kitchen utensils, picture
frames and lot of so-called paper statu-
ary. Paper handkerchiefs and napkins
from Japan are used as dinner novelties
in polite society. read in an evening
paper that paper bodied buggy has been
built out west. The cocoanut tree, whose
universal utility was once proverb,
must take back seat. What between
the variety of material paper can be made
out of and the variety of service it can be
made to yield, it will soon contest the
title of the eighth wonder of the world

Records in Purple Ink.

: During Gen. Grants term as president
one of his cabinet officers discovered that
the records of an important branch Of
one of the departments had been for two
years written in purple ink. He at once
issued an order forhidding its use in the
department, purchased new set of
books, into which two years records
were copied, and thus saved what in a
few years would otherwise have been
lost. 1t is one of the problems of chem
istry to find something which will make
permanent the beautiful aniline colors.
but thus far all efforts have failed. It is
growing more and more the custom to
have deeds, contracts and valuable docu-
ments printed on typewriter in aniline
ink. This is great mistake, because in
a few years they are sure to be obliter-
)ted.-Tha Arsonsgs

Making Artificial whetstones.

A foreign scientific paper gives the fol-
lowing method of making artificial whet-
stones: Gelatine of good quality is dis
solved in its own weight of water, the
operation being conducted in dark room
To the solution 1-2 per cent. of bichro-
mate of potash is added, which has been
previously dissolved in a little water. A
quantity of very fine emery, equal to
nine times the weight of the gelatine, is
intimately mixed with the gelatine solu-
ton. Pulverized flint may be substituted
for emery. The mass is nodded into any
desired shape, and is then consolidated by
heavy pressure. 1t is dried by exposure
to strong sunlight for several hours. -

Protection Against Fire.

The virtue of lime wash as protection
against fire is emphasized by The Ameri-

thickly coat with whitewash the beams,
joists and the under side of foorings.
While this precaution will not prevent
the spread of fire once under great
headway, it is guard against the prime
ignition that often leads to dire results
